Schapelle Corby was sentenced to 20 years jail for importing 4.1 kilograms of marijuana to Bali. Except that she says she didn't do it, while the Indonesian customs officers said she did, and it was in her boogie board bag. That's it. No other evidence was considered by the judges. How would I feel if someone in another country said they weren't going to listen to my story, and then put me in jail for 20 years for something I didn't do. If she serves 20 years she'll be 47 by the time she gets out.
There she stood in the middle of a foreign court room, surrounded by police and judges who would not listen to her. Worst case senario she could have got the death sentence. For importing drugs. It's horrible and awful. And what can be done about it?
Shout to the Lord (Angry)
(Lyrics: Marcus Curnow 2005)
Why Jesus? Why favour
Those who do not like you?
All of my years I cry bitter tears
I wonder where's your mighty love?
No comfort, No shelter
Where is the refuge and strength?
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to question You
Shout to/(at) the Lord
All the Earth, let us bring
Powerlessness, tragedy
Rail at the King
Mountains fall down
And the seas will roar
Hear the sound of the pain
I long to see the work
Of your hand
Forever I'll seek you
Seek to understand
Nothing to hold
But the promise I have
In you
Shout to the Lord
(Hillsong Australia 1993)
My Jesus, my Saviour
Lord there is none like You
All of my days I want to praise
The wonders of Your mighty love
My comfort, my shelter
Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to worship You
Shout to the Lord
All the Earth, let us sing
Power and majesty
Praise to the King
Mountains bow down
And the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name
I sing for joy at the work
Of Your hand
Forever I'll love You
Forever I'll stand
Nothing compares
To the promise I have
In You
